@Rita: You indeed have a great deal of experience of life and an evident calling as a prayer warrior for your family. People are focused right now on the virus - understandably - though the ultimate priority is spiritual.

Hi; it's the roots and foundation that count, as Paul says....

@Rita Praying you will have opportunities talking with your son; also, it's the consistency of the life lived, as much as words, that count.

@Rita: Probably there are a lot of overlapping things going on at the same time, if the truth is known. Whether or not there are hidden machinations going on in the background - and I leave the possibility open - the infectiousness and danger and need for precautions over the virus are...

Good general point to remember, indeed.

@Candidus Thanks for your various comments; your participation is appreciated. The same chapter - the adjacent verse - seems to say about not trimming one's beard; do preachers shave? if they so, they are maybe admitting that dispensationally they are not Old Testament Jews in the land under...

@Rita Both Fox and CNN are strongly tinged with a US politics view of things. (I hardly watch either of them.)

Thanks for your vote participation.

Among themselves the Alexandrian and Western varieties of text diverge a lot, whereas the Byzantine are relatively more uniform.

@Candidus Did you vote in the poll yet? :)

@Candidus My wife and I talked to a young lady with the whole of John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area; it was her favorite Bible verse and mine also; and I'm sure other conversations have arisen as a result of her willingness to become a parlor client in this way. Not all butterfly tattoos -...

So what else are ppl reading from the Word? My wife and I are now in James's Epistle.

Hi @soul man I like the way you phrased that! :)

It's Apocryphal.
